The silence emanating from the Islanders’ offices regarding coach Bill Stewart’s status is deafening. It’s been 13 days since the Islanders’ season-finale in Pittsburgh, and despite two meetings between GM Mike Milbury and Stewart on April 20-21, no deal has been struck for next season.

With nine days remaining until May 8, when Stewart’s contract allows him to seek another job, it is becoming increasingly clear that Milbury is planning on exploring his options. For the second straight summer, he is likely to hold conversations with Butch Goring and Ted Nolan, the latter of whom has already reached out to Milbury within the last two weeks, The Post has learned.

Milbury interviewed Nolan for the head-coaching position last summer before he wound up taking it himself.

Stewart’s remarks following the March 29 game against the Rangers in which he said the Isles didn’t “have the resources to acquire NHL talent” and his reluctance to commit to the Isles in March hasn’t endeared himself to the organization.
